For companies that act as recipients of the item management data pool and want to receive data from their trading partners (e.g., retail), several enhancements have been made:
The "Confirmation Status" data model has been adjusted and the Dialog in the Desktop UI to define the feedback for the trading partner has been optimized.
A pre-import step for the hotfolder distributes the received files to be imported with the respective mappings and updates status information.
Processes and logs are visualized inside Product 360 now in the respective categories of the process overview.
The published packaging information of received items is imported as well and allows identifying items that are the root of the packaging hierarchy - typically pallets.
New reports help find and access the received information. These reports can be used to find items by many parameters, e.g., root items only, items with specific feedback, or exceptions. Reports can also be used in assortments or in dashboards.
When the feedback is being sent to the data source (e.g., the manufacturer), the status is imported back, so that it is transparent what information has been sent, or if there was an exception.
The confirmation status view in the Desktop UI features a button to see historic values, e.g., "previously sent feedback."
